Chapter 705: Chapter 775, Eruption
This massive creature’s skin was stone-colored, its surface like rock, indestructible. It was a Rhino Man, and when the many assassins ambushed around saw this Rhino Man, they all involuntarily took in a cold breath.
Indeed...
It was just as the Alliance Hierarch had said, the enemy wasn’t human, but...
Monsters!
Everyone felt a chill arise from within, even the few strongest-level assassins who witnessed this scene felt a coldness spreading along their spines, a fear of the unknown.
Following the Rhino Man was a large army.
A monster army!
Various kinds of monsters slowly emerged; some crawled on the ground, while most stood upright, seemingly like an army of Killing Gods from Hell. This demoralized the numerous assassins, even giving rise to the thought of retreat.
How could such a monster army be defeated?!
However, in the end, no one retreated.
They couldn’t help but think of the exploits and achievements Fang Yi had spoken about earlier.
Fang Yi had made them promises - the head of a sacrificial monster was worth one hundred thousand, an elite monster’s head, five hundred thousand, and a higher-level monster’s head, one million... and so on and so forth.
What does it mean to establish exploits and achievements? In ancient times, titles and knighthoods were conferred for military merits. The promise Fang Yi had made them was exactly this - are you assassins willing to earn money by killing for a lifetime, or earn money by fighting enemies?
This was a war.
War comes with life and death, to establish exploits and achievements, such feats and statuses aren’t easily earned; they must be built with blood and sweat.
Moreover, before this, Fang Yi had made it clear, whether they chose to leave or stay, it was entirely voluntary; hence, Fang Yi had not forced anyone against their will.
The monster army came marching in a great torrent, the approaching force exerting a heavy oppressive feeling, especially considering they were monsters, not humans - an unknown enemy.
"Hold on, we must hold on..." A hidden assassin under the roots of the trees held his breath with concentrated spirit, "They are about to reach the explosive area..."
The monster army was led by the Rhino Man at the front, acting as a heavy shield, perfect for clearing the path...
A Rhino Man stepped into the explosive zone.
Beep beep, beep beep...
The Rhino Man stepped on a bouncing mine, and not just this Rhino Man, but also many sacrificial monsters that were at the front were stepping on these bouncing mines.
They were puzzled, not knowing what they had stepped on, but it was something they were used to, so they tried to lift their feet to continue moving forward...
"Roar!"
A roar sounded, carrying a commanding tone, as if trying to make them stop, but it was too late. freёweɓnovel_com
Boom!
Boom boom!
Explosions rang out, the kill radius of the bouncing mines reaching more than ten meters. Once this area expanded, those affected were obviously from the monster army. In an instant, the screeching filled the air one after another.
"Howl! Aaawoooo!!!"
The Werewolf, as the leader, made this sound filled with rage, also giving commands, and the meaning of this command was------- Charge! Kill!
The monster army was like a force of thousands upon thousands. Under the Werewolf’s roars, they no longer advanced at a walking pace, but instead ran.
These monsters were combinations of animal genes and humans, especially those sacrificial monsters, which acted ’fearlessly’ as they rushed forward with astonishing speed. They rumbled forward like a long dragon, boldly charging into the depths of the enemy’s side, heedless of danger.
In truth, these monsters were not genuinely fearless; when they were created, they were not given the nerves of intelligent beings, and ’fear’ was not in their vocabulary.
Moreover, it was exactly because of this, when they charged into the fray, the momentum they brought, and the role they played, was truly exceptional.
Members of the Dragon Soul Alliance and the many assassins were all sweating profusely, swallowing nervously, but even in such times, they still had their fighting instincts intact, not fleeing immediately or scared out of their wits.
Both feet stepped into this mess; it was too late to back out now!
The sacrificial monsters at the front finally clashed with the Dragon Soul members lying in wait at the vanguard.
Yes, those lying in readiness weren’t the newly recruited assassins by Fang Yi, but the Dragon Soul members; this was Fang Yi’s strategy. He had a deeper purpose—to reassure the assassins.
The Dragon Soul members were absolutely loyal to Fang Yi, but the assassins weren’t. Therefore, Fang Yi purposely placed the Dragon Soul members at the front to show the assassins that he was "helping" them too.
Yao Dong, the leader of the Dragon Soul members, gripped his weapon tighter when he saw the monsters, a wave of fear in his heart, but he didn’t retreat.
"Brothers, fight for the Dragon Master!" Yao Dong raised his weapon and roared.
"For the Dragon Master!"
"For the Dragon Master!!!"
The war cries thundered, boosting morale; even the other assassins were invigorated.
This was both a battle and a war!
"Kill!" Yao Dong roared and charged first, with the other Dragon Soul members following suit!
There were more than twenty Dragon Soul members; they charged to the fore like a sharp spear, piercing straight into the heart of the enemy!
Under such circumstances, the assassins were also caught up in the fervor, and those without shame or bloodlust were a rare breed!
"Charge!" Nobody knew who shouted from among the assassins, but they surged forward.
The assassins responded in kind.
"Slay these ugly fiends!"
"What the hell are these monsters, all of you go to hell!"
"For Abandoned Dragon, to achieve great deeds, to be rewarded with titles and fiefs, the day is near!"
Dragon Soul members and assassins charged together, hundreds of them fearlessly plunging into the thick of the monster army, numbering over a thousand.
"Kill!"
Behind the thousand-strong monster army, a Werewolf stood atop a red horse, howling loudly and resonating through the forest.
A fierce battle erupted, and blood flowed like rivers!
...
Song Wuliang clutched his broadsword, staring blankly at the carnage in the forest. Such a terrible event occurring in modern society would cause an uproar if word got out.
Song Wuliang couldn’t help but glance at Fang Yi, sitting cross-legged and making a breakthrough, and felt hopeful yet extremely tense. Suddenly, a roar sounded behind Song Wuliang. He turned and saw a formidable humanoid monster bearing down on him.
The humanoid monster lunged at Song Wuliang, who gripped his broadsword tighter, palms sweaty, staring at the menacing creature, Song Wuliang suddenly shouted.
"Come on! They call me ruthless, but if you want to touch Brother Yi, you’ve got to get past me first!" Song Wuliang bellowed.
As the humanoid monster charged, Song Wuliang met it head-on, remembering Fang Yi’s advice that to kill these monsters, one must sever their heads.
It was when Song Wuliang had decapitated the humanoid monster that his whole body trembled, with no chance to catch his breath, as four or five more appeared around him.
With both hands on the hilt of his sword, Song Wuliang felt immense pressure.
"Oh Brother Yi, please wake up soon; this fat body of mine can’t hold out much longer," Song Wuliang murmured to himself.
Before, Fang Yi could multitask, but at this moment, he was entirely submerged in his own world, rapidly opening his body’s last four acupoints, having opened two after much effort, with two remaining.
In this critical juncture, everyone was fighting against time, and Fang Yi was doing the same.
